Put Diesel in a Petrol Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 Turnier?

If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in a Ford you probably want to know what you should do about it. The answer to this question depends on the quantity of Diesel you put in your Petrol car.

The first thing we need to look at is fuel tank capacity. So, what is the fuel capacity of a 2.5-litre Petrol Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 Turnier? The answer is, the Ford fuel tank capacity is about 58 litres (according to our database).

What to do about putting Diesel in a Petrol Ford will vary dependent on the amount of Diesel used. So, there are three possible scenarios:

(Please Note: These figures are approximates. Running an engine on any amount of incorrect fuel can cause damage, regardless of contamination percentage. Information given here is advice based solely on our customer reports and case histories. Full details should be procured from your vehicle manufacturer.)

FIVE PERCENT: If you put less than 2.9 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 Turnier then in most cases, if the car's tank is completely filled with the correct fuel before it is started, it will probably be fine.

FIVE TO TEN PERCENT: If you've put between 2.9 and 5.8 litres then you should probably give us a call. This is the grey area where sometimes you can get away with just topping it up, and sometimes you can't. Call us and, with a bit more information, we'll be able to give you the best advice on what to do next.

If you've put more than 5.8 litres of the wrong fuel in your Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6 Turnier then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

A man phoned us from his place on a street. He said, "My car (a Ford) is not starting and is producing awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel car however thought he would solve the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
